Every time I get US ads on a podcast it's like stepping headlong into a Philip K. Dick novel.

tl;dr the CIA have spent the past century or so developing spy networks across the globe, & Elon & Trump just announced their existence in a tweet & cut their entire budgets, because both of these supposed geniuses were too dumb to know what the euphemistic project names actually meant. Incredible.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

If you choose to go on holiday to a country with a poor human rights record, you are a total psychopath. "Beaches are lovely, didn't visit the stadium where they behead homosexuals though, it wasn't open."

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

Gonna repeat what I said last night, now that it's clear Nvidia stock is getting hit too: OpenAI's service being exposed as horribly, unnecessarily inefficient might be the real big news here rather than the existence of a major alternative in itself

If you watch the most impressive NFL clips back to back it's almost as good as rugby.

No one is USING AI. They are TRAINING AI. No LLM is ready to be fully deployed. It's all early beta testing they are trying to convince you is actually a product. It is nowhere near its target goals for its intended uses. People aren't paying to use it; they're subsidizing its training. It's a scam.

For years Trump has consorted with phony Christians - evangelical nut jobs & fundamentalist Catholics, including billionaires who bribe Supreme Court justices. It was really something to see a sincere Christian who understands the message of Jesus confront Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After months of AfD boosting Elon gets no benefit of the doubt

For context, immediately after sieg-heiling behind the Seal of the President of the United States, Elon said "it is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured", which is about as close to the 14 Words as you can get while maintaining plausible deniability

Maybe we should listen to Elon's daughter when she tells us he is into the "14 words ideology." Maybe.

Watching the Dean Ormston documentary. Just lovely. His work on Lucifer was a big part of my adolescence. So nice to learn that he's an English punko kid too.
